Jewel - Foolish Games
Julie Manning Johnson
Does anybody have the lyrics to Jewel's 'Foolish Games'? I've got the
single CD with that and 'You Were Meant For Me', so it's longer than
what they play on the radio. My local DJ couldn't come up with anything
on it other than personal guesses.
There are a couple of parts I couldn't get...
The part right before 'And you speak of your loved ones as I clumsily
strummed my guitar.'
And the part that says 'You teach me of honest things, things that were
daring...'
Thanks,
Julie

(which is my favorite one) that doesn't include the "you'd teach me of honest
things" part you mentioned. The lyrics from the original cd are
Foolish Games
You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
You were always crazy like that
I watched from my window,
always felt I was outside looking in on you
You were always the mysterious one
with dark eyes and careless hair,
You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
besides some comment on the weather
Well in case you failed to notice,
In case you failed to see,
This is my heart bleeding before you,
This is me down on my knees
These foolish games are tearing me apart
You thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You were always brilliant in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee
You philosophies on art, Baroque moved you,
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
You'd teach me of honest things
Things that were daring, things that were clean
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you
Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn,
Somebody more like myself
These foolish games are tearing me apart
You thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You took off your coat and stood in the rain
you were always like that

Here you go Julie
Foolish Games
Jewel
1. You took your coat off and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that
I watched from my window
Always felt I was outside looking in on you.
You were always the mysterious one
with dark eyes and careless hair
You were fashionably sensitive but too cool to care
Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
besides some comment on the weather
Well in case you failed to notice
In case you failed to see
This is my heart bleeding before you
This is me down on my knees
Chorus:
These foolish games are tearing me apart
Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
2. You were always brilliant in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
You'd teach me honest things
Things that were daring, things that were clean
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you
Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for someone else
Somebody who gave a damn
Somebody more like myself.
Chorus:
3. You took your coat off and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that.
